Imagine yourself planting, watering and growing plants as fast as you can then carrying them in space shuttles waiting to fly them across the universe. It is the concept of «Deep Space Gardening», a chaotic (and very addictive) cooperative multiplayer game developed by the Zurich-based studio Team DSG. The eco-responsible message is obvious (the planets of the galaxy must recover their ecological system), adding meaning to the pure fun.

Created during  the ETH and ZHdK «Game Programming Lab» joined program, «Deep Space Gardening» was recently among the 10 supported projects in the context of the Autumn 2019 Call for projects – Interactive media (the next call is now open). After this promising start, the studio will now bring their game to the bigger garden (dare we say jungle) that is GDC.

Stay tuned for more news about the SwissGames delegation at GDC 2020.
